Cleveland Browns vs. San Diego: How to watch, listen to the game

The Cleveland Browns close out the home portion of the 2016 NFL season when they host the San Diego Chargers. Here is how to watch or listen to today’s game.

Today is the day.

No, it’s not the day that the Cleveland Browns will win their first game of the 2016 NFL season, but rather it is the final home game of the year.

The Browns have not won their final home game since the 2009 season, a 23-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars that was part of the mirage that had fans thinking that Eric Mangini was the answer at head coach.

The Browns are going to have to overcome a lot to pull out a win, however, most notably the San Diego offense, which is averaging 26 points per game. Cleveland will counter that with a defense that is last in the league in points allowed – 29.1 a game – and last in the league in points scored – 15.7 a game.

So, yeah, the holiday cheer may be hard to find at the stadium today.
